Georgia Flood Insurance

Even though flood insurance is relatively inexpensive, most
homeowners do not choose to purchase the insurance protection
available. According to the Federal Insurance Administration, less than
one-quarter of the homes in areas most vulnerable are insured against
flood loss. In those areas, flooding is 24 times more likely to occur than
a fire during the course of a typical 30 year mortgage.

A standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover damages
caused by flooding. You must have flood insurance from an insurer that
writes for the National Flood Insurance Program. If your community
participates in a floodplain management program, you should be eligible
to buy the coverage no matter if your flood risk is low, medium or high.
Residents of "coastal barrier areas" and communities that do not
participate in floodplain management programs may have trouble
finding flood insurance coverage. Georgia flood insurance is also
available to renters, condominium owners, and co-op owners.

Outside of fire, flooding is the most widespread natural disaster.
According to the National Flood Insurance Program, two adjacent
properties have to be under water to call the situation a flood. In a
rural area, at least 2 acres must be submerged.

The value of property as figured by determining the cost to
replace the damaged or destroyed property and adjusting the
replacement value by subtracting an amount that reflects
depreciation. Or in other words, replacement cost minus
depreciation. Homeowners are entitled to a replacement cost
value if they live in their homes at least 80% of the time and
have flood insurance coverage for at least 80% of their home's
market value.

The amount it costs to replace or rebuild a damaged property.
Replacement cost coverage is available only for the building
portion of a condominium insurance policy. Owners of single-
family homes may be able to buy replacement cost coverage
on the building portions of their flood insurance policies. A
Georgia flood insurance replacement value policy will pay only
the replacement value up to the coverage limit. For example, if
rebuilding your home will cost $400,000, but you only
purchased $300,000 in coverage, your insurance policy will pay
you only $300,000.
